This is the correct way to manage a budget.

The budget software I use (“you need a budget”) follows a similar philosophy; based on the way you describe you financial circumstances, paying for that software is probably not in your budget, but I suspect you will find the “rules”/method/philosophy described on their website helpful.

They’re supposed to be good a transformation tasks. Language translation, create x in the style of y, replicate a pattern, etc. LLMs are outstandingly good at language transformer tasks.

Using an llm as a fact generating chatbot is actually a misuse. But they were trained on such a large dataset and have such a large number of parameters (175 billion!?) that they passably perform in that role… which is, at its core, to fill in a call+response pattern in a conversation.

At a fundamental level it will never ever generate factually correct answers 100% of the time. That it generates correct answers > 50% of the time is actually quite a marvel.

This isn’t going to hurt Google’s antitrust cases at all… Noooo sir.

She was paranoid schizophrenic.

The joke is that, regardless of how the type is declared in json, you are parsing a string. (your json blob is just a series of characters, not raw binary data)

RTFA, it is right there ffs

Nobody is arguing that valve shouldn’t be compensated for the value they provide. Many of us do, however, argue they are taking too much. Their revenue per employee being so much higher than anyone else in the market supports that argument.

Avocado toast or peanut butter toast. I guess technically there is some sort of cooking involved there but it is minimal…

The reply would have been return x % 2 == 0, or if you wanted it to be less readable return !(x&1).

But if you were going for a way that is subtly awful or expensive, just do a regex match on “[02468]$”. You don’t get a stack overflow with larger numbers but I struggle to think of a plausible bit of code that consumes more unnnecessary cycles than that…

Is this meant to be a joke or is it intended to be a serious solution?

Asking for someone who lacks a sense of humor.

Ok, fine, I’m asking for me. That person is me.

Just like every basement is a hamas bunker and every sewer is a hamas tunnel.

Agree no difference as an ingredient in some baked dish.

But if you are eating the egg by itself or as the primary item, there is definitely a difference in taste. Not a revolutionary change your life difference, but still a difference.

In my experience the difference is pretty small amongst the options in the grocery store, but fairly noticable for eggs I get from the farmers market.

There are three sides to this conflict, not 2.

Saw one the other day with Jennifer Anniston. Good enough that it took a second to realize it was deep fake audio and video.

Recently thawed and ate a whole chicken that had been in the freezer for 18+ months in original packaging. No issues with taste/texture.

The article “conveniently” omits the names of pilot states and the eligibility criteria, so I dug them up:

The Direct File pilot is available to eligible taxpayers residing in Arizona, California, Florida, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming.

You may be eligible to join the pilot if you live in a pilot state and report these items on your 2023 federal tax return:

Income

• W-2 wage income
• SSA-1099 Social Security and RRB -1099 railroad retirement income
• 1099-G Unemployment compensation
• 1099- INT Interest income of $1,500 or less

Credits

• Earned Income Tax Credit
• Child Tax Credit
• Credit for Other Dependents

Deductions

• Standard deduction
• Student loan interest
• Educator expenses

The pilot is not an option for if you:

• Have other types of income, such as gig economy or business income
• Itemize deductions
• Claim other credits like the Child and Dependent Care Credit, Saver’s Credit or the Premium Tax Credit

Ignoring the content of the words, they probably spaced it out like that so they could still see out the rear view mirror.

For first names we separately compiled lists of names that we liked from whatever sources we could find (Internet lists, books, media l names used in media, etc). We went through each other’s lists and vetoed names that were a hard no. Then we wrote the names out on a sheet of paper in random order in a playoff bracket style arrangement. Each pair had a winner until there was only one.

For middle names, it had to be something that flowed well with the first name. It also had to be able to convey that special sense of “you done fucked up” and disappointment when said with the first name (while emphasizing the second), like “John PAUL”. Finally, candidates were from (mostly deceased) family members.

Names and initials were checked to minimize bullying potential; if we could think of a way to abuse it the name or combination was rejected. For example, Karen would be a no due to current slang usage. Or if the initials would spell ASS.

Once, while traveling though Idaho, I came across someone peeling a potato in a reststop bathroom…
